Local Form
Each quadratic differential on a domain in the complex plane may be written as where is the complex variable and is a complex valued function on . Such a `local' quadratic differential is holomorphic if and only if is holomorphic. Given a chart for a general Riemann surface and a quadratic differential on, the pull-back defines a quadratic differential on a domain in the complex plane.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or form:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
